Descriptions

Apache Tomcat 7.0.x before 7.0.17 permits web applications to replace an XML parser used for other web applications, which allows local users to read or modify the (1) web.xml, (2) context.xml, or (3) tld files of arbitrary web applications via a crafted application that is loaded earlier than the target application. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2009-0783 regression.

NOTA: esta vulnerabilidad existe debido a un regresión de CVE-2009-0783

Potential security vulnerabilities have been identified in 3rd party software used in HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor running Oracle and Apache Tomcat Software.
